I remember seeing a thing from a woman who had immigrated to the US from...somewhere in Africa (I forget where exactly), and the big thing she commented on was how strange it was to her that people here just smiled all the time. I've also heard similar sentiments from various places in Europe: "Why are Americans…

I smile a lot, particularly at people I don't know who I encounter in service industries. I do it because you never know what kind of day someone is having, because I like to be friendly, because the person behind the cash register or the reception desk is probably dealing with assholes all day. I've never thought…

Where were his parents/guardian when this was going on in high school?!

Moscow Olympics half time act??

They are so adorable! This significantly improved my morning.

That was so glorious it brought a tear to my eye.

I wonder how hard it was for them to find properly-fitting heels. Most women's shoes only go up to a size 10 or so, and most men I know have feet that are significantly larger than that...

Will knee-high leather boots still be in this winter?

Oh, that pic is lovely but doesn't even begin to cover how gorgeous this family is. I give you: Trick'R Treating

This is my only reaction to this.

When I was a college student in the early aughts, I bought the original version of this book in a used bookstore. It was really interesting, and I actually really liked how Molloy wasn't afraid to say the truth about the world he lived in. Women entering the business world back in the '70s had it rough, and…

I was under the impression from the updated version in the 1990s that Malloy was in favour of pants by that time, because attitudes had shifted. I think he also mentioned that suddenly in that time period jackets did not have to match pants/skirts anymore.

These drawings remind me of fashion plates, which was my favoritest toy as a kid, after barbie. Yes, shoot me. I bought into all t he bullshit

As someone from a city that was home to one of the more famous rape/murder criminals in Canada, I'd like to please urge people NOT to judge and entire effing city on a few people's horrendous acts. It's shameful enough it happened here, you don't need to throw the rest of us under that label.

I mean, it's not like they…

As an uncircumcised dude, this is news to me. I mean, I get the occasional hummer, and no one has ever been like "woah, no way skin-head, I aint going near that" or reacted in any way but positively. But, would I just be drowning in them if I was cut? Would blow jobs be raining from the sky? Would I literally be…

But I thought you were supposed to keep babies immobile.

I understand what she's saying... Rape culture is real, Stuebenville was screwed up and horrible, blaming the victim is also horrible, but if you disseminate a bunch of bad information, and people go forth with that bad information to inform people... It negatively impacts their credibility on the issue. I absolutely…

There is so little positive to say about this case, other than that these women were eventually located alive and Castro is going to prison for the rest of his life. It is somehow heartening that at least one of Castro's children has turned out to be an empathetic, articulate human being, despite such a violent and…

If, as it appears, he has the enormous inner strength to become a good, loving man, then that is the greatest justice.

I watched the interview this morning, and for having a monster for a father, he seems to be a genuinely good person. I truly, truly hope that he doesn't get judged for the crimes his father committed.
